Berlin Turnpike
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Berlin Turnpike is a 4-lane/6-lane divided arterial road carrying U.S. Route 5 and Connecticut Route 15 through the towns of Berlin, Newington, and Wethersfield. The road begins at the Meriden-Berlin town line. The official length of the Berlin Turnpike is 11.02 miles (17.74 km) but the northernmost 1.04 miles (1.67 km) does not carry US 5 or Route 15. The northernmost section runs partly along Route 314 for 0.66 miles, and then on State Road 543 for 0.38 miles to the Hartford-Wethersfield town line, where it continues as a local road known as Maple Avenue.
The Berlin Turnpike connects the Wilbur Cross Parkway with the Wilbur Cross Highway.
The main office of the Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) is located on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington on land originally purchased for Interstate 291, which was subsequently cancelled.
